Irish Examiner view: No price too high for peace of mind

Norton and Twitter

Graham Norton: Any reasonable reading of hios comments couldn’t fail to recognise some undeniable truths, expressed rationally and reasonably.

Graham Norton’s departure from Twitter in the last few days has been widely interpreted as a reaction to criticism for expressing his views on the trans debate.

Norton’s comments in an interview conducted by Mariella Frostrup are worth repeating: “If people want to shine a light on those issues — and I hope people do — talk to trans people, talk to the parents of trans kids. Talk to doctors and psychiatrists. Talk to someone who can illuminate this in some way.”
